About this episode
In this episode, the hosts discuss the biblical question of why the wicked prosper and encourage listeners to stay focused and build endurance in their faith.
What do we do when life feels unfair—when those who seem far from God appear to be winning? In this episode of Your Life, Dr. Tony Haire and Dan DeBruler dig into Jeremiah 12, where the prophet asks God a question we’ve all wondered: “Why do the wicked prosper?” Through that honest conversation between Jeremiah and God, Tony and Dan remind us that God welcomes our questions—He can handle every doubt and frustration we bring. But His reply to Jeremiah still echoes today: “If you have raced with the footmen and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses?” It’s God’s gentle way of saying, “Stay focused. Build endurance. The tougher tests are ahead, but I’m with you.” Your Life airs Tuesdays at 2pm Eastern on Christian 105.7 - WCLN-FM Connect and learn more at Christian1057.com
